How We Learn

At Mater Dei Academy, we emphasise classical learning because we want our students to read well, speak well, and think well. We learn in this way to enable our students to think critically and deeply about important questions. But we also do it because Truth and Beauty are good in themselves and desirable for their own sake.

Our experienced teachers introduce our students into the wisdom of two thousand years of Catholic thought, history, culture, and arts, helping each student to understand themselves and our world in the light of the Truth. Education in this deep and comprehensive sense extends beyond the classroom and is more than just the acquisition of skills.
